I'll try to find the link and post it, if any one is interested.sally

Originally posted by majorsal View Posti know what you mean. if all the bad things keep being erased, then it loses some of it's impact, story telling wise. but, BUT, i also don't want to be bummed out, so i kind of enjoy the things being erased.
i don't want to see helen without a limb, but i want to see the angst and mental trauma of her having to make the decision.Originally posted by EvenstarSRV View PostProbably the best way do that would be to go until she's made the decision, but she's then rescued/found, etc before she goes through with it. It's rather convenient timing, but you get your angst and emotion without either a quick fix or one-arm Helen.
Maybe an AU of Trio where Sam's the only one who falls into the room and the others are looking for her or trying to get down to her. She breaks her leg in the fall, develops compartment syndrome, and is faced with possibly having to amputate it if help doesn't arrive soon enough.
Sounds like a good whump fic...I wish I had the talent to write...I have so many fic ideas running through my head every day but I just don't know how to put pen to paper...figuratively speaking. Pity there isn't a machine that can record your thoughts....I'd be pumping out fics left right and center.
Originally posted by majorsal View Postif it had happened on atlantis (and let's pretend the writers would have been skilled and interested enough to do it), it would have been intense to see sam with an mechanic artificial limb. let's say arm, from the elbow down, for this idea... the arm uses nanites. the nanites start acting in their own accord. they start acting like replicators. not in actually replicating themselves, but making sam's arm/hand do things that she doesn't want it to.
then the asgard come and remove the arm, clone her a new one from her own genes/dna, and operate to put it on. there's my happy ending.

I bought a ticket to meet William Shatner...I uhm'ed and ah'ed about it for a while and then went for it...I'd like to hear him talk about the new show he'll be doing with Amanda as well as talk about that show Sh1t my dads says - I'm not a fan of Captain Kirk...I don't like that character so I hope I made the right decision...too late now I guess."Live Peace - Speak Kindness - Dwell in Possibility"

Originally posted by majorsal View Postwatching this special (ff a bit )... i don't remember much of this movie. some scenes of sam working on some panel, replicators coming into the room and her firing... i don't know what that says about the movie? or the story arc of s9/10?
i liked 'continuum' a lot more.
I liked AoT slightly more because the whole team were working together, and it was a great way to end the Ori storyline. It was just a great movie overall.

I chose the meet & greet session so I really hope he's worth it.
Sounds plausible...I almost got the impression that it came as a huge surprise that Amanda would be attending Dragon Con....so maybe it's all about promoting the Zenoids.

i think, especially after all the amputees we've had in the past few years, being an amputee isn't an automatic dismissal...it depends on what your job is and whether or not you can still do it.
with your prosthesis, are you still as mobile as you were? can you still do your job?
so i think now, it's less 'damaged goods, goodbye' and more 'how close to 'before' can you get and can you still do your duties?'
Sam, just like Jack, would be offered a level of civilian or 'behind the lines' duty (desk job)

Originally posted by hedwig View PostIn that scenario, assuming she did have to amputate, how would she climb out? I would think she'd be in so much pain that even the thought of trying to climb out would be too much.

Originally posted by Chelle DB View PostI don't mind convenient timing...it actually happens in real life so it's not like it's really that convenient - maybe the gods will be on her side!

Originally posted by EvenstarSRV View PostHeh, same here. I did manage a Sam/Teal'c tag to ITLOD, but I generally get stalled out if I attempt anything with a more involved plot.
Maybe you could do more "tag length" stories?
